~~Created~~ 5x expanded by DanCherek (talk). Self-nominated at 15:29, 14 February 2022 (UTC).[reply]

I'm not happy about "Created" eligibility given that it was previously a stub and then redirected, but I think it's not far from "5x". Per A4, we discount copyvios, so I'll take 580 characters as the pre-expansion size, and it's now at 2,718 characters. If you can take that to 2,900 then that's 5x. A sentence or two about who Paranjape is (and The Hindu could work for that) should take it over.
Regarding the rest of it, there's no copyvio any more that I can detect, no notability problems (WP:NBOOK#1 met a couple times over) and no referencing or neutrality issues. Happy with the hook (accurate, interesting, good length) and QPQ. — Bilorv (talk) 22:22, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, that's two mistakes in a row by me. Definitely meant to select the "expanded" option when I created the nomination, and then I let myself get fooled when DYKcheck didn't throw any warnings. Will remedy this shortly! DanCherek (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bilorv: I've added a "Themes" section to the article so I think it's eligible for DYK now! Thanks for the review. DanCherek (talk) 23:55, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
All good, and problem solved. Happy to approve! — Bilorv (talk) 02:26, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

25 years in lead[edit]

I have removed the 25 years detail from the lead per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section: information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article. DanCherek (talk) 20:38, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Why was the image removed? BrownSugar57 (talk) 09:46, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious. It's a book that's still on Amazon. Why delete the image? BrownSugar57 (talk) 09:48, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
